Pete Doherty pelted with bagels at gig following Robin Whitehead death

Pete Doherty appeared on stage last night for the first time since the tragic death of his pal
Robin Whitehead – and was booed and pelted with bagels.

Pete Doherty was booed after showing up 90 minutes late for the gig in Russia

Some fans walked out after the junkie rocker turned up 90 minutes late for the gig at an exclusive nightspot in Moscow, which was attended by VIP guests like Russian tycoon and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich .

When he finally did show up after claiming he’d “overslept”, the crowd booed and chucked bagels at the ex-Libertines star with one hitting him on the shoulder.

The 29-year-old responded by picking up one of the bagels off the floor and eating it.

Doherty performed with his band Babyshambles and had flown out to Russia after the death of Goldsmith heiress Robin at an east London flat.

Police are treating the death as “non-suspicious” but are keen to interview the star as part of their investigation.

Accounts have emerged of a serious row between the singer and the heiress the day before she died from a suspected drugs overdose.

Whitehead had been working on a book and film on Doherty.

Doherty looked “subdued” on stage and kept his eyes closed while performing.

He played sitting on a step on the stage and took swigs from a can of Guinness.

One VIP guest told The Daily Mail: “He had his eyes shut and an expressionless and vacant look on his face.”

Some fans had paid up to £1,030 for a ticket and Abramovich was one of the guests who left before the end of Doherty’s performance.

After the gig, Doherty launched a foul mouthed rant and threw vodka into the face of a female journalist who asked him about Whitehead’s death.
